Austin Peay State University SAAC Canned Food Drive Begins: Student-Athletes Compete to Fight Hunger

The Austin Peay State University (APSU) Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) has officially launched its annual Canned Food Drive, inviting student-athletes to engage in a friendly competition to collect the most canned goods. This initiative is designed to fight hunger in the Clarksville area, where many families struggle to meet their basic food needs. By participating in this drive, student-athletes are not only helping their community but also fostering a sense of teamwork and school spirit. The Canned Food Drive represents APSU’s commitment to social responsibility, encouraging student involvement in meaningful community service. The event is timely, coinciding with the season when food donations are most needed.

As the student-athletes rally support and gather donations, they raise awareness about food insecurity and its impact on local families. The competition aspect adds an exciting element, motivating participants to contribute as much as possible. This year's drive promises to be a successful endeavor, enhancing community ties and addressing urgent hunger issues in the region.
